About this home
Forest Hills Redevelopment Opportunity | Minutes to Village District Rare opportunity in established Forest Hills, just minutes from the Village District, Downtown Raleigh, and NC State. Set on a generous homesite with mature trees, 2601 Van Dyke Avenue offers multiple paths for investors, builders, and buyers—from renovating or expanding the existing ranch to pursuing a new custom build. The home was owned by the same family since it was built and features original hardwoods, solid construction, and plenty of character. Existing new-construction plans and permits are available at closing, providing a valuable head start for redevelopment. An adjacent parcel is also available, creating the potential for multiple new builds, an expanded homesite, or a private estate. Convenient to restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, parks, and Downtown amenities, this is a rare opportunity to invest in one of Raleigh's most desirable in-town locations. Property is being sold as-is, where-is.
